Yet the ordinary, I realized, became like cherished treasure when taken



I would not love, unless I was loved first and loved the most.

I would be nothing at all, if I could not be first.


such a sweet book, asian folklore novels are really something!

I think this was one of my first books that I've read that dives deep in the Korean Joseon period that mixed with mystery elements as well as a subplot of a romance that's not the main focus on the story.I'm pleasantly surprised by how the story unfolded! Definitely worth reading it~

2.5 rounded down to 2

I feel like I’m being gaslit by all these positive reviews. I felt no emotion or investment in this story at all. It was simply okay
